HOP

Relationship with BCD

How the industry association and the development platform reinforce each other — and where they differ.

Part of: HOP — Hospitality Development Platform

Different roles, the same constituency

BCD represents coffeeshop operators toward politics, government and regulators; HOP helps those same operators take internal steps in quality and compliance. The roles are different and reinforce one another.

Scope

BCD does not introduce standards via HOP, and HOP does no advocacy. BCD does share signals from its members with HOP and uses HOP instruments in its conversations with ministries and banks.
